and useful improvements in Lubricating Figure G is a ldetail sectional view through Systems, of which the following is a speciiione of the wiping cups of a cross head and cation, reference being had to the accomone of the perforated feed cups, showing v panying drawings. how the wiping cups wipe the lubricant from 65 io It is the purpose of the present invention the perforated feed cups; and

to provide a lubricating system for engines, Figure 7 its an enlarged detail View of especially of the stationary type, and where one of the wiping cups to be carried by the in a suitable tank is included, for the recepeccentrics. t, tion of the lubricant, there being filtering Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a 70 l5 means in the tank, for the purpose of filterbase of a conventional form of engine,` esing the lubricant, as it flows through the syspecially of the stationary type, and rising tem of piping. from the base of the engine are supports 2, Another purpose is the provision oi' a which support the container or tank, in lubricating system embodying an arrangewhich the lubricant is contained.
